Give credit to Jim DeRogatis for being a relentless pain-in-the-ass to Bono in the middle of a glad-handing radio event last night in Chicago. While I imagine Bono would have preferred to discuss whether the new U2 album is just a great 2009 album or the greatest, DeRogatis decided to ask a series o...

Unsurprisingly, U2 topped Billboard this morning, with No Line on the Horizon selling 484,000 copies — 21k less than Britney's Circus did in its first week. As Idolator chart guru Chris Molanphy put it in an email (which I hope he won't mind me quoting here): "That's either terrible compared t...

Hey, you - yes, you. You're hearing all that stuff about how disappointing the sales of the U2 album is, right? Well, it's not true.

Thank god we've got some top-level insight into the whole affair from, erm, the Pussycat Dolls: "We are sisters," PCD's Ashley Roberts said. "And there's moments where no matter who you are, yo...

The big U2 tour? It's Like nothing you've ever seen, it says here: “It’s hard to come up with something that’s fundamentally different, but we have, I think, on this tour,� guitarist the Edge told Billboard. “Where we’re taking our production will never have been seen before by anybody, ...

Like Peter Cushing prying open a creaky wooden coffin in a dank cavern and smashing a wooden stake through Christopher Lee's rotting, 700-year-old chest, pop's gallant hero Lady GaGa continues to erase any need for Ye Olde Vampyre Madonna.

Bob Lefsetz posts a scorching response to the underperforming U2 album: I saw U2 on Letterman, and what struck me was it was Dave’s show.
